SOME ABORIGINAL SITES ON RED RIVER. 695 
Considerable digging in the level ground where midden-debris was seen on the 
surface, yielded only negative results. 
A number of small arrowpoints, all surface finds, were rudely made, some 
being hardly more than flakes chipped into the outline of arrowpoints, and differed 
materially from the points found with burials at this place, upon the making of 
which much care had been bestowed. 
The pottery from the Crenshaw Place, thirty-two vessels in all, as stated, is of 
inferior quality as a rule. The following vessels merit special mention. 
Vessel No. 20. This bottle, coated exteriorly with red pigment and having 
in relief two lizard-like figures on opposite sides, well illustrates the saying that 
misfortunes never come singly, inasmuch as the head of one lizard was lost in 
aboriginal times previous to the interment of the vessel, and that of the other 
disappeared under the blow of a spade in the hands of one of our diggers (Fig. 123).

Vessel No. 21. This vessel (Fig. 124) has incised and punctate decoration Im 
combination with series of circular markings, perhaps conferred with the aid of an 
end of a reed. There are holes for suspension on two opposite sides below the rim.
